Model import guidelines for InfraWorks

1. Export an .FBX file to Lumion

1.1: Export your model to an .FBX file with the settings on the screenshot below:

1.2: Import the .FBX file in Lumion.

2. Tips & Troubleshooting

2.1: Why can't you see the model after importing and placing it in your Scene?

The Insertion Point for the Imported Model in Lumion corresponds to 0,0,0 in Infraworks.

If a model is far away from the Insertion Point in Lumion, you need to move the model closer to 0,0,0 in Infraworks, before exporting it to Lumion.

2.2: Why can't you assign a Lumion material to individual surfaces?

Lumion will always combine surfaces that use the same material in Infraworks. If you want to assign a Lumion material to a specific surface, you must assign a unique material to that surface in Infraworks before importing the model.
